"Wasn't sure what to do with a boring area in my backyard. DRT transformed it into a beautiful pond with waterfall. Absolutely love it! Cannot wait for the plants to grow in. Highly recommend these guys!"
"Always on time, and will call with any issues, before starting the project. Contractors like him are hard to find! I am very please with the work he has done for me."
"I had framing issues re-corrected on a new construction 2 family dwelling. Terry and his framer "Brasil" did quality work by re-framing the ceiling and the arch on the 2nd floor balcony. They did structural repairs and corrections since the previous framers botched up the house. Terry was responsive and helpful throughout the whole ordeal. I would definitely recommend TMC Construction for general contracting issues. They do neat and quality work at a reasonable price. Also, it is a plus that he is aware and knowledgeable with the framing codes Jersey City enforces. He made sure everything was done correctly for the framing to pass inspection. "
"I hired Tyken to level a section of my backyard to place an 18' round above ground temporary pool. We discussed the options. They came on time, were receptive to any questions and did the work over 2 days which included installing the pool itself. The reason for only giving a B is that the leveling is not perfect and there was a cigarette butt left on the ground"
"Nothing but amazing that's why I have them for 10 years. Reasonable rates. quick response. On time always. Very helpful. Excellent in emergency situations. Very very good family business."
"We 100% recommend Maven Building, LLC. The workers were on time, honest, neat, great at giving us what we wanted and super flexible. We absolutley LOVE our new kitchen. We've gotten so many compliments on their work. Do yourself a favor and give this company a try. You won't regret it!"
When deep cleaning your koi pond, transfer fish to a clean, uncontaminated container at least one foot deep, like a large bucket, tub, or kiddie pond. Fill the container with their existing pond water to avoid shocking them, and place the container in full or partial shade. When it’s time to reintroduce them into the pond, slowly add the new water to the container before adding the fish and container water back into the pond.
When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area’s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don’t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.

Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don’t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.
